"Two and a half years ago, I was in dire financial straights, so I sold my home to keep my struggling business afloat. I neglected to tell the owners that they have an 800 sq. ft. bunker on the property that I built about seven years ago.
The bunker that I've called home since I sold it. The entrance to it is well-hidden, but I still come and go very early/very late in the day. I'm a single man who keeps to himself. I'm now in a situation where I could move somewhere else, but I love this hidden paradise so much." -Reddit user throwaway215091
"I cut off all contact with everyone I know and moved to Kenya.
I tell people a fake name and a fake background and have made it appear to my family that I died on a boat trip in the Pacific. No, I am not joking. I am dead in the United States." -Reddit user Tomgoldaccount
"Everyone thinks I have a good job and roommates, but I've been homeless and a prostitute for over a year." Reddit user Throngsong
"When I was about five years old, My sister (2 years old) and I were in the backyard in a kiddie pool, when my mom went inside, I attempted to drown my sister. After I saw her lifeless, I realized that it was a big mistake, I pulled her out of the pool and called for my mom. Luckily she knew CPR, and she was life-flighted to the hospital. My mom thanked me for saving her and pulling her out of the pool.
Next week was my birthday, and the police, firefighters, and paramedics came to my house to give me gifts and celebrate my birthday. To this day, 20 years later, I still think about it. I remember the day so vividly. Not a soul knows the real truth." -Reddit user throwaway4evernever4
"I forged my high school transcripts to get into university. I can't even think about the consequences of my actions if anyone were to ever find out.
I'm three weeks shy of graduating with a degree in biology." -Reddit user audioslacker
"Finding out that I have a mental disability and my whole life people have hidden it from me (treated me the same as if I was normal)."

"I get paid a six-figure salary for a standard 40-hour-a-week corporate job for a massive well-known company. In a given week, I do maybe an hour of actual work.
The rest of the time, I am on Reddit or youtube slacking off. I thought when I got this job that eventually someone would figure out I don't do anything all day, but here I am 14 years later still doing nothing and getting paid a lot for it." -Reddit user VR61661
"There is a super high possibility that I have a child. A girl I was with, who turned out to be crazy, lied about being on birth control.
The times like up almost too good, and it looks kind of like me. Since then, she has been married, and she and her husband seem happy together, so I've never worried about it." -Reddit user prisoner216
"I'm sleeping with the wife of a criminal, and if he finds out, there is a perfect chance I'll get killed. She told me already he would kill me if he found out.
Why? I don't know, I just don't care much about my life anymore, so if it does happen, at least I had some fun." -Reddit user yeahnotrightnow
"I barely feel any emotions towards other people for the most part.
My step-grandmother was in the hospital (she's fine), and my first thought was along the lines of, "oh great, now idk if I can go to that girl's house tomorrow." I wonder if I'm a sociopath or something, and I'd like to actually be able to talk to a therapist and get myself figured out, but I won't tell my parents because I don't want them to see me differently." -Reddit user exeuntial
"I told my best friend's boyfriend to go look for her during a party once when I knew she was cheating on him with some other guy. HE DESERVED TO KNOW.
But that would easily ruin our 20-year friendship if she ever found out. But no one deserves to be cheated on, ever." -Reddit user savethaplanet
"No longer the case, but a few years ago, I faked qualifications to get a job. I had applied to 30+ positions within a few months, and nobody was biting.
Without that job, I would have been out on the street and heavily in debt." -Reddit user (deleted)
"I never graduated from law school, or college for that matter- despite my photographic memory.
I’m currently practicing law at one of the top firms in New York." -Reddit user (deleted)
"I don't feel empathy; people constantly make jokes about me being a school shooter because they think I'm scary; they find out I don't feel empathy, and the jokes will get a lot more brutal.
I'm not a bad person, I don't want to hurt anyone, and I'm tired of people claiming otherwise; I don't get to choose what emotions I feel and which ones I don't." -Reddit user (deleted)
"That I love two men. Like actually love them both and want them both.
One is my ex. The other is my boyfriend." -Reddit user pantiesgalore
